I’d be really interested in seeing the technical analysis on that last.
here is my quick analysis.
............................................
US electrical capacity, one million megawatts.
average load factor is 50%, so I guess that nightime load
factor is 20% or so.
............................................
average electric car gets 4 miles per kilowatt-hour.
suppose average daily-drive is 40 miles, and charge time
is ten hours, demand is 1 kilowatt per car.
.......................................
100 million times 1 kilowatt, is 100 thousand megawatts,
or 10 percent of the capacity.
oops, forgot the best part.
US capacity, coal plus nuke,
412 thousand megawatts
